AvalonEdit is a WPF-based text editor component for .NET, originally written for the SharpDevelop IDE and used in projects like ILSpy. It provides syntax highlighting, folding, code completion, and rich text editing features as an embeddable UI control.
Use cases
- embed a code editor in a WPF application
- add syntax highlighting to a text viewer
- build a custom IDE or code editor in C#
- display and edit source code with line numbers and folding
- implement code completion in a .NET desktop app
When to choose
- you are building a WPF desktop application that needs a full-featured text or code editor
- you need syntax highlighting, folding, and completion out of the box in .NET
When to avoid
- you are not targeting Windows/WPF
- you need a cross-platform editor component (e.g., Avalonia or web-based)
